This invention relates to an attachment horizontal member 10 is slidablyconnected for a calendar, the general object of the invention being toprovide means whereby one can readily observe the current day on acalendar by simply glancing at the calendar.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings,and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front view of with a calendar thereon.

Figure 2 is a view with the calendar removed.

Figure 3 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a perspective View of the horizontal member.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the frame.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the rod on which the frame is slidablymounted.

Figure 7 is a perspective view of the vertical member.

Figure 8 is a section on the line 8-8 of Figure 5. 1

In these views the numeral 1 indicates a backing member which has itstop edge turned over as shown at 2 so that the upper edge 0f a calendarpad 3 can be placed thereunder and fastened in position by the rivets 4or the invention the like which pass through the turned over art, thepad and the top part of the memer 1. A vertical member 5 has a tongue 6at its upper end which is passed through a slot 7 in the bight of theturned over part with portions of the bight resting against the top partof the member 5 so that said member 5 forms a support for the backingmember when the tongue is placed on a wall fastener which is passedthrough the opening 8 in the top. One of the fasteners 4 may passthrough the upper end member 5 as shown in Figure 2 and its lower end isalso fastened in the backing as shown at 9. A

withthe member 5 by the tongues 11 punched from the member and bent overthe edges of the member 5. Said member 5 is formed with 'a vertical rowof spaced slots 12 any one of which is adapted to receive the bent partin a tongue 13 punched from the central part of the member 10. The slots12 are so arranged that the movement of the member 10 from one slot toanother will be equal to the distance between two horizontal rows of thenumbers on the calendar.

As will be seen the members 5 and 10 are located under the calendar adand a bar 14 passes over the front face of the pad and has its ends bentas shown at15 to engage the spring tongues 16 punched from the ends ofthe member 10. Thus the bar is pivotally connected with the horizontalmember 10 and by bending the ends of the barto provide the parts 15'transverse movement of the bar is prevented. A rectangular frame 17 hasits upper edge bent over as at 18 to form a space to receive thebar 14so that the frame is suspended from the bar and can be swung on thebar.Tongues 19 are punched in the upper part of the frame and are bent over'the bar to frictionally hold the frame in adjusted position on the bar.A bent tongue 20 is also punched in the top of the frame, this tonguebeing substantially V-shaped in cross section so that its apex willengage in any of a plurality of notches 21 formed in the bar 14 toproperly position the frame on the bar with respect to the numbersindicating the days of the week. A cable or cord 22 is fastened to theloWer edge of the central portion of the member 10 and extendsdownwardly through an opening 23 in the lower end of the vertical member5 so that when this cord is pulled upon the member 10 with the bar 14thereon will be lowered to cause its tongue 13 to engage the next slot12 below the one previously engaged. A cord 24 is connected with the topof the member 10 and extends upwardly to a hole 25 in the backing member1 throu h which the cord is passed, and thence t e cord ispassedthrougha second hole 26 in the backing member above the first hole andthen the cord is passed through a sis hole 27 in the top part of themember from where the cordextends downwardly below the device; '7

Thus byfpulling upon the cord 24 the memher 14 is moved upwardly. Themetal punched from the hole 27 is rolled as at 28 to preventiinjuryitothe cord. Fromithei foregoingdt will be. seenithat the horizontal membercan be adjusted upwardly 7 or downwardly by the cords so as to placethethe adjustment of the frameover the desired figure on the calendarsheet, and flexible mem- V bers connected with the horizontal member forraising and lowering the said member.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. 70
